As some of you may have noticed, my Sephora haul video was featured in Sephora's Beauty Insider e-mail that went out today! I'm absolutely thrilled and honored that they would choose it to be sent out to everyone on their e-mail list and I'm also so incredibly humbled by all the e-mails and messages from those of you who spotted me as well. ^___^

Here is the version that went to my inbox, but I know there have been other variations as well that went to different locations. I was so anxious about it because e-mails and messages trickled in hours and hours before I got it myself! Eeee!

Here is what the haul video looks like on Sephora's Youtube channel. It's up in "Sephora's Picks" as well as "Fan Hauls" and my Pouf & Bun casual updo is in the "Fan Looks" category.

If you'd like to see the original blog entry from this particular Sephora haul when I first got my beloved Naked Palette, you can find it here.

Thank you so much to Sephora for believing in my video enough to feature it, and thank you to all of those who have expressed their shared excitement as well. I have read every e-mail, message, tweet, and comment and believe me, I take to heart the feeling of support from my dear community behind me. I very much feel that this is a big step forward for all of us bloggers and youtubers to get our voices heard by bigger companies and respected on a larger scale.

I know in a way it's just one little e-mail that most people will trash but to me it means much, much more.

I feel incredibly blessed and I do not take your love and support for granted.

Hi JenI have been following your blog for a few month and really enjoy the sincere and down-to-earth way you present your tutorials. Thanks for all your effort and you deserve the Sephora feature !!! :)

Hi Jen, I am a big fan of yours from Hong Kong. I have a question regarding your UD Naked Palette Neutral Smokey Eye tutorial… The eye shadows look really pigmented in the video, I am just wondering if you had wet your eye shadow brush before applying them to make the eye shadows stick better? Or maybe it’s the eye primer potion that made them more pigmented? I have some coastal scents palettes but some of their colours aren’t pigmented at all…I am dying to get the Naked Palette after watching yours and other beauty vloggers’ videos but they don’t sell UD products here in Hong Kong. I will be visiting the US in a few weeks’ time so I am planning on doing my UD shopping then. The UD palette is rather expensive so I just want to be sure…Thanks so much!Janice

I was so excited to see your video in my Sephora email today! Congrats! That is serious recognition. You deserve it! You are a talented artist and I LOVE your makeup tutorials! You are my go-to makeup guru!

That's really amazing, Jen! Congratulations! This is just the beginning towards so many doors of opportunity opening for you, and I can't wait to watch that journey unfold through your blog. Good luck Jen!! <3

I was going to tell you that you were on the Sephora email! haha~ But then I thought you would already know about it~ Congratulations!! (: You deserve to be recognized~ & that screen freeze of you is hilariously cute (:
